DESCRIPTION:
Wayne Iba said Thought provoking but looking for a focus. This edited volume contains articles from the Workshop on Human & Machine Cognition in 1991. I got this book while preparing an upper-division interdisciplinary course on Models of Mind. I liked the overall slant of the collection better than many of the other volumes I considered (e.g., Mind Design II, Haugeland; Philosophy of AI, Boden (one of the contributors to this volume)). Although the workshop happened in 1991, the papers are ostensibly more closely dated. Not worth it I thought this book was awful. It offers very little original thought, and is full of wrongheaded and muddled thinking. I persisted through a fair bit of silliness, but I ultimately gave up after a chapter allegedly written by a mathematicatian got some basic combinatorics all wrong.It probably deserves 1 star, but I've given it 2 out of respect for the fact that they've attempted to tackle such a difficult subject in the first place.
Android epistemology is the exploration of the space of possible machines and their capacities for knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, desires, and for action in accord with their mental states.
